What gloves do you use to train - Wednesday, August 20, 2003 3:40 PM ( #1 )
I was just wondering what kinda gloves you guys use...i personally dont liek leather gloves or stuffy gloves that make my hand stink or sweat. Heres a picture of mine they are called Newgrip gloves extremely comfortable its like a cushion gives a real tight grip.

I train using Nike "Dri-Fit" gloves.......I really really like them...almost like not wearing any glove at all...weightless, and definately NOT bulky.

I think the best pair of gloves I've ever owned are by Nike.. they have the wrist straps included and give a very firm support. They breathe well and feel just solid.

Nike? Did I read that right? You should at least take a sharpie to the swoosh.

I use harbinger gloves. I've had them for about 4 years now and they still work great. I have had to sew them a couple of times because of rips... but I enjoy these gloves and feel naked without them.

I never have used gloves....the calluses on my hands prove it:rolleyes:

Do you guys feel you get a better grip with the gloves? I personally like the skin on metal contact

My hands really don't feel so great when I'll curling the barbell loaded up.. or doing rows.. some of the bars are pretty harsh and jagged.

There's no doubt I have a better grip as the bar isn't digging into my hands.

In fact, I used my gloves last night to move a very heavy piece of furniture. Neither my wife nor I could move it before, we put on the gloves and the edges didn't dig as much. We moved it. Huge difference.

I can and will workout without my gloves when I forget them (as I do squats without a belt sometimes) but I always feel better wearing them.

No gloves on a leg day.

I don't know...I find that I can go heavier with my lifts and pulls with gloves...I've tried without and the rough handles cause discomfort...and definately grip is better, for me (although I have small hands so maybe this is why they are so helpful for me)

I use Gold's gym leather gloves, well, they are half leather, and half some other material, i dunno.

Except I lost one of the gloves the other day, so now I only have one left, hehe, so i've just been using my bare hands.

I use leather palmed cycling gloves with no finger ends. These are comfortable, cool enough, and provide nice grip on the bar. I do not like working out without them, im even typing with them on now!
